Racking Our Hard Cider & Pressing Our Apple Scrap Vinegar Pulp

Two weeks of fermentation and it is now finally time to rack our homemade hard apple cider. The apple scrap vinegar also needs to be pressed and racked into smaller secondary fermentation jars.

I have brewed thousands of gallons of just about everything. One thing I'd like to say is those simple cone over fermentation locks can't be beat. Easy to fill and clean, and there is no danger of "lock juice" getting sucked into your fermenter from a back pressure screw up. In fact, I have actually seen these same locks being used at micro breweries venting hundreds of gallons of brew :)

So I’m that guy that always packs Maple Syrup into my cider before fermentation. Got give that yeast plenty of sugar to eat if you want to make the booze. Nice video Dave and Amanda

[@Wilderstead]

Yes indeed Joe! We do that with our batches of blueberry wine. Soooo tasty. Cheers buddy! Hope all is well over your way!

[@OakKnobFarm]

Not sure when it will happen.... But I'm gonna share a fine cider with you someday.

[@Wilderstead]

Oh it’s gonna happen for sure buddy!

I live in northern Minnesota, above the lake about 40 miles from central Ontario. The land of nothing :) I love it...the north woods is best in the fall eh ")

Hi Guys, I am loving the apple cider and apple scrap vinegar videos. Great job on the videos.

[@Wilderstead]

Thanks so much Joey!

[@bettinah.7429]

I would love to learn how to make this one day. I guess I could use bought cider? Oh and those carboys? I found a bottle like that on the side of the road,I believe the people at that particular house made wine…..how do you clean and sanitize those containers?

[@Wilderstead]

You can get big long brushes for cleaning them at most wine making stores. That and we use hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. There are also various sterilizing agents available at wine shops.

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

Yuuuup need a taste test.

[@Wilderstead]

Always good to be sure about these things!

[@MiAnUAcres]

I just love watching you two!! The inspiration and knowledge blend well with you perfectly!! But enough with the logic 😂😂😂 Where did you get the press?

[@Wilderstead]

Love that! That particular press we got when we were living in Connecticut, from a small home brew type shop. The larger one we also purchased used. Great deals on both of them!

[@bettinah.7429]

Ummmm yup I can guess! 🤣😂
